I remember when it was 1968- I know I am telling my age here...there was a series they began to show. It was called "Here Come the 70"s". I remember watching it and being terrified. We were all going to be living underground and all the air would be polluted and on it went. My sister and I had nightmares!

Now it is all about Global Warming. I am not here to pretend to be a scientest and claim whether or not it is happening. I hear alot about it and I know young people must hear also and be scared about their future. I know I felt the same way when I was a kid and kept thinking about how we would be living underground in the 1970's. I did discover two important truths. The first one is that they were wrong and the second one is that all my worrying changed nothing. It just put my stomach in a knot and gave me nightmares.

It is wise to not be ignorant of what they are saying about Global Warming. I hope and pray that our country and others will be wise in limiting gas house emissions and all that stuff. I want to say to you my reader, ultimately, while we do what we can, the world is not our own. There is One who is much bigger who holds the future. I do not believe this old earth is going any where one day sooner than He allows. 

I am a mom of four. I remember being afraid of the world I was bringing each baby into. I would hold that sweet baby in my arms and wonder "what will your world hold?" What about your future? What about this world?" There is an old hymn we use to sing in church. You do not hear it much anymore, but the truth of it would soothe my fears. The words said "Because He lives I can face tomorrow, because He lives all fear is gone, because I know who holds the future. And life is worth the living because He lives." 

Some see my position as one of weakness- I prefer to think of it as faith that God still cares about you and your future and He cares about this earth. Man will do what man does, but we will not thwart what God has in mind.

One of my favorite verses in the Bible is in Isaiah 41:10 " So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.
